## Description

For a republic of just 21 square kilometres, Nauru wields disproportionate weight in Pacific air freight, and the reason sits at Nauru International Airport (INU). The airport is the home base of Nauru Airlines, which runs a dedicated freighter fleet of two Boeing 737-300Fs and a 737-800F alongside passenger 737s pressed into cargo duty. From INU the carrier flies scheduled freight to Brisbane, Nadi, Tarawa, Majuro, the Federated States of Micronesia and Palau, linking islands that have no other jet service. Typical loads are mail, perishables and resupply cargo bound for remote atolls. The single wartime-era runway on the island's south coast takes narrow-body jets up to the 737 but no larger aircraft. There is no rail or river connection, though the deep-water mooring at Aiwo handles heavy sea cargo that air freight cannot. For forwarders, INU works less as a bulk destination than as a redistribution point for the surrounding micro-states. Customs clearance is handled locally by Nauru's customs authority.
